| How many components annually? I try to buy as few components as possible and buy as much music as I want.During the past 2 years, I replaced/upgraded my 15-year-old integrated amplifier, my speakers of a similar vintage, and my 12-year-old CD player. I added a subwoofer and a ... | |
| Tube friendly speakers UNDER 1K? Indeed, they are floorstanders, but they take up about the same amout of floorspace as many monitors and sound wonderful. | |
| advice on integrated amp I'm quite enthusiastic about the music reproduced through my NAD C370. It works extremely well with my Vandersteen 1C's. It retails for $699. I bought my NAD C370 new from my local NAD dealer for $600, including tax. YAWA Online( http://www.yawaon... | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Speakers are much more than "tone controls". They are the imperfect acoustic interface for all the "upstream" components. They are electrical-mechanical transducers with high mass and relatively large nonlinearities and other distortions compared ... | |
| SEPT 11? Today will be a day of quiet remembrance, reflection, and discussion with friends, away from the hype, spin, and agendas on the tv.What I'll be remembering about September 11 are the heroic, mostly public, workers, most prominently firefighters bu... | |
| Are we music lovers or gear lovers? I think that Pbb's credo is a good one and succinctly stated (and very similar to the way I try to operate). At Audiogon, I am always mindful that this is primarily a site devoted to the discussion and selling of audio gear. In discussions here of... | |

| A question for ACI Titan LE2 Sub owners ? I think that it would be best in your small room to get some decent stands for your monitors and to use a single Titan II LE. I own an ACI Titan II LE, and it works very well in my ~13.5'x~18' living room.It is best, of course, to place a subwoofe... | |
| Review: Arcam Diva CD72 CD Player I think that which CD player sounds best is apparently very system- and listener-dependent. In my system at the time (NAD 3300 PE, Vandersteen 1C, ACI Titan II LE), the Arcam Diva CD72 sounded nice though a bit lean. In the under-$1000+ category, ... | |
| Best "Village Vanguard" or "Blue Note" recording My favorite Village Vanguard recording is, without a doubt, John Coltrane's 3-night appearance recorded by Impulse in 1961 and most recently available in a box set. I have an earlier Japanese release spread over 5 CDs.Trane, Dolphy, and the rest o... | |
| What are your thoughts on Dh Labs T14 speaker cab A single run works fine with my Vandersteen 1C / NAD C370 combination. | |
| Tango Recommendation Along with "Tango Zero Hour", I also recommrnd Pablo Ziegler's "Asfalto (Street Tango)". | |
| Need inexpensive amp help and questions on Hype I also suggest that you listen to a NAD C370. While it definitely lacks the hype (and the prestige that goes with it), it is a powerful integrated amplifier with prodigious bass. It is also an outstanding value, though it does lack a phono input.I... | |
| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? Our 9 year old American Eskimo dog generally hangs with me in the living room where the music system is but is usually oblivious to the music.Our cat, who died in April, used to really groove with the music, placing himself in a position where he ... |
